How do I book a visit?
Call or text 718-634-0005, or click the “Book an Appointment” button to schedule a visit. Our team can help you find a time and answer questions before your appointment.
Do I need an appointment?
Please schedule ahead so our optometrist and optical team can set aside time for your eye exam, contact lens fitting, or eyewear consultation.
What should I bring?
Bring your medical insurance and vision plan information, along with your current prescription glasses or contact lenses. Call or text us before your visit if you have questions about your benefits or what to bring.
Do you accept my insurance?
Visit our insurance page to see the plans we accept. If your plan is not listed, call us at 718-634-0005.
How often should I have an eye exam?
The right schedule depends on your age, eye health, prescription, and contact lens needs. Dr. Mirkin can recommend a follow-up schedule based on your individual exam.
Can you help me choose glasses?
Yes. Our licensed opticians help you select frames and lenses for your prescription, fit, and style, then measure and adjust your glasses for you.
What if my new glasses need an adjustment?
We offer eyeglass adjustments to help with fit and comfort. Call or text us to arrange a visit with our optical team. We also offer a 30-day exchange on glasses and contact lenses, and a prescription review within 30 days; ask how the policy applies to your order.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, checks with valid ID, debit cards, and major credit cards. You can also ask about in-house payment plans and CareCredit financing.
What services do you offer?
We provide comprehensive eye exams, eyeglasses, frames and sunglasses, contact lenses, dry eye treatment, myopia control, and eyeglass adjustments. Dr. Mirkin also provides medical eye care, including evaluations and treatment for eye conditions.
I am new to contact lenses. Will someone show me how to use them?
Yes. New wearers receive personal instruction in putting lenses in, taking them out, and keeping them clean. Dr. Mirkin checks the fit and discusses lens care and follow-up so you know what to expect.
What if my new prescription does not feel right?
Contact the practice so we can help. Dr. Mirkin can review your prescription within 30 days. Our team will discuss your concerns, check your eyewear, and explain the next steps.
